In an emotional Instagram post, actor and son-in-law Sharman Joshi stated that veteran actor Prem Chopra is doing well following a crucial heart procedure.
The renowned actor's family conveyed their sincere appreciation to the group of cardiologists who cared for him, praising their knowledge and kindness.
Sharman posted a series of photographs featuring Prem Chopra, his wife, and the medical team, including cardiologists Dr. Nitin Gokhale and interventional cardiologist Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao, who led the treatment.
In his heartfelt message, Sharman wrote, “On behalf of our family, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and admiration for the exemplary treatment my father-in-law Mr. Prem Chopra Ji received from esteemed cardiologists Dr. Nitin Gokhale and interventional cardiologist Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao.”
He went on to explain that Prem Chopra had been diagnosed with severe Aortic Stenosis, a condition that restricts blood flow due to a narrowed aortic valve. In order to treat this, Dr. Rao used a cutting-edge, minimally invasive cardiac procedure called TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), which replaces the valve without the need for open heart surgery.
Sharman highlighted how smoothly the entire process unfolded, praising the doctors for their reassuring presence. “Dr. Gokhale’s consistent guidance at every step gave us immense confidence. Their expertise ensured a smooth procedure, complication-free treatment and a fast recovery,” he wrote.
He also shared the good news that Prem Chopra is now back home and recovering well. “Dad is now home and feeling much better. We will always be thankful for the exceptional support and care he received,” Sharman added, expressing the family’s heartfelt appreciation.
Fans of Prem Chopra, who has been a legendary figure in Hindi cinema for decades and is renowned for his unparalleled on-screen persona and memorable performances, were relieved by the update.
As word of his recovery spread, coworkers and fans from all over the industry sent him messages of love, prayers, and well wishes.
